La Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza acogerá la actuación inaugural de la Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla de la mano del cantaor Miguel Poveda con un cambio de escenario motivado por la gran demanda de público que superaba el aforo de la Plaza de San Francisco, donde estaba prevista la inauguración.

El coso taurino se incorpora a los otros siete escenarios que repartidos por la ciudad acogerán a partir del 15 de septiembre la XVI Bienal de Flamenco con un espectáculo inaugural, "Flamenco de viva voz", que según ha informado Miguel Poveda servirá para afianzar "el vínculo taurino de Sevilla con el flamenco".El cambio de escenario que garantiza mayores condiciones de control de acceso y permite un desarrollo técnico a la altura del espectáculo, ha afirmado el director de la Bienal, Domingo González, permitirá poner a la venta cerca de doce mil entradas con precios que oscilan entre los 6 y los 35 euros.

Durante su encuentro con la prensa en la Real Maestranza, Poveda ha confesado su respeto por este proyecto sobre el que ha asegurado que se "fue enamorando" hasta comprometerse a ofrecer el primer concierto de la bienal en este espacio, lo que asegura es "el sueño de cualquier artista del flamenco".
